Living Energy Blog

I have been absent from the blog since after the first post since the needs of my aging parents have consumed all spare moments! BUT, it all gave me a great example of the Living Energy work and how it can work in our lives if we allow it.

My Dad is 88 y.o. and in a nursing home as he requires 24/7 skilled nursing care. My Mom is about to turn 90 and until recently lived in her own home. It has become obvious that we (my brother and I) need to make some different living arrangements for them in order to take care of their changing needs. The problem: they each have complex needs that are hard (read impossible!) to accommodate and make all the various aspects work.

After becoming a self made expert in elder services and senior facilities in the state of NH, I had reached an impasse of monumental proportions—in my mind! At that point I remembered what I teach! I went into a meditation, straightened out my energy(this took awhile!), found my lost inner peace and when I had recharged my worn out core energies and felt coherence set in, I released an intention that a living situation that met all the needs to be brought to me. I need to underline that previous practice and experience REALLY came through and helped me reach peace and coherence in spite of the stress ball that my conscious mind had created through all this. 

Anyway, four days went by and I called the only option on my list figuring it was that or nothing. We would have to come up with an elaborate plan to make it all work. Once I got the administrator at that facility on the phone, she kindly told me that she was closing at the end of this month as she was retiring!!! ARGGGHHH….back to the dry, empty and frustrating drawing board! THEN, she said she could refer me to a place that may work. Fat chance I thought, since I knew all there was to know about senior care in the area. HA! Was I surprised when she told me about a brand new place that is opening Sept. 1st. I went and saw the place and it is like a dream come true….it is better than I could have imagined in every possible way! In just two days we toured, chose an apartment and my mother was taking us to dinner to celebrate having a beautiful new place to live that can take care of her present and future needs very nicely, as well as enable her to continue daily visits with my Dad and to be close to both her children.

An equally astonishing piece of this story is that the finances to allow my mother to live out her years in a safe and healthy environment with her family around her appeared quite unexpectedly, from a direction that none of us would ever have imagined and it arrived exactly on the day needed to allow all this to come together and be made a reality.

If I ever doubted that energy works, this would be the last of my doubts!

Forming an intention with your conscious mind, entering an altered state where you simply work at becoming coherent and peaceful and then releasing the intention at the end of the meditation was something I had been practicing already with good results. Applying it to my real life was a little slow in coming this time as my conscious mind really believed this was a computer, telephone and visiting search. Once I put the process in place it became easy, quick and had definitely had the makings of a miracle in my mind.

Somehow the phrase “Physician heal thyself “seems appropriate here! What is also appropriate is the reminder to use the tools (On Everything!), practice and combine the elements in the way that we have been taught that works.

As I was out walking today … on my summer route, along a somewhat rural road … I noticed a few dogs loose and running around.  I was on a road where the dogs on one side of the street are always restrained and are often “yippy.” 

As I was watching the dogs, a car came into view.  The car slowed as it went by the dogs.  then a truck came along in the opposite direction and passed me.  As the car came closer, the driver stopped and we chatted. It was a neighbor I had met a few days ago.  He asked if I brought 2 dogs along today.  I told him “no” and said I was hoping they might be his dogs.  We continued chatting while I also kept my eyes on the dogs.  By the time we said our goodbyes, I decided to continue along.  By that time the dogs had disppeared down a driveway and were out of sight.

 Although this may seem like nothing to many people, the sight of the loose dogs running around surfaced my fear of dogs.  Although I’ve done release work around it, I know that my hestitation about the dogs today means that my fear still exists.  While I was determining what to do, the Universe responded.  The car and the truck gave me some time to consider the situation and to decide what to do.  I could have turned back and taken a different route or take a chance and continue along.  Once I decided to continue along, the situation resolved itself.  The dogs disappeared. I expressed gratitude and tapped my collarbone a few times.  Later,  I  grounded my energy as I continued along.

I am particularly tuned to my surroudings when I am out for a walk.  Usually I notice the ground all around me, I study the sky (which was gorgeous today), listen to the birds and other assorted animals, notice subtle changes in the neighborhood, sort out my activities for the day and set some intentions.  Unfamiliar dogs running loose, however, do stir up a deeply seated fear of being bitten.  (It actually happened one day, many years ago.)  Now that is has surfaced again, I’ll actively continue to release it.

By the way, I never saw the dogs for the remainder of my walk. I did notice a beautiful butterfly moving right along with me.  It reminded me of the bird that acted as a guide in the The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe film. 

I know that fear is not real but it feels so real every time it shows up.  Fear is irrational and it surfaces to be released and to be transformed.  It’s a continual reminder of work waiting to be done.
